Do you use the DISC assessments in all your team building workshops?

No; we only use the DISC assessments as the baseline for discussion in our DISC team building workshops and our leadership courses.

However, we also conduct facilitated team building workshops without DISC - these are generally more customized to suit your unique goals and objectives.
